'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, EMANUEL YOUNG, of Amanda, Fairfield county, State ofOhio, have .invented a. new .and useful Improvement in Auger for FittingSpokes and Felle-es; and I dohereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and enact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled inthe art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which-Figure 1 is a side view of my improved auger. Figure 5.. is an end viewof the same; Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of ,the same takenthrough the line :a x, iig. 2. -Figurc 4 is a crosasection of the sametaken through the line y y, iig. 3.

ASimilar letters of reference indicate like parts. My invention has forits object to furnish improved tools for fitting spokes and felloestogether, so that they may tit each other exactly and insuch a way as togive the greatest strength to that part of the tenen -which is nearestthe inner side of the felloes and upon which comesthe greatest strain;and it consists, lirst, in

an improved spoke-tenoning auger formed by combining an adjustable knifeor cutter for forming the tapering sides of the tenon and two knives orcutters for forming the shoulder of the tenen with the hollow shank erlbody ofI the auger.

A is the shank, by means of which the auger is attached to the brace orether-instrument for operating it. B is the body of theauger, the lowerpart of which is made hollow and the extreme lower part or end, taperingto correspond with the desired taper of the tenen.l This lower part, b,is slotted longitudinally for the reception of' the cutter C, and alsoto allow the chips to escape from the auger. D is a block attached t0the side of the body, B, of the auger to assist in supporting thecutterl C The cutter C is attached tothe edge of the said slotv and tothe side of the block D by two screws passing through slots in the saidcutter andscrewing into the said block D, s0 'that the cutter C may beadjusted as required. 'The cutting edge of the knife, C, is madeslightly -ilaring, so that it may make a cut a little wider vthanitself. Around the lower edge of the body B of the auger is formed aiiange, b2, to support the cutters E which form the shoulder ofthe tenonof the spokes. These cutters E are set a little inclined, so that theiredges, e', may slightly project to take hold of and operate upon thespoke being tenoued. The chips made bythe cutters E escape through thenotches or slots b3 formed beneath the cutting edges et' the said knives13. These cutters are attached to the body of the auger by screws, twoto each, as shown in hg. 2. By thev use of this instrument the tenen ismade strongest at the inner edge of the felloes, at which pointthespokes are more liable .to break than at any other.

Having thus described nay invention, what I claim as-neiv, and desire tosecureby Letters Patent, is

As an article oi' manufacture, the hereinbefore-described tool formedwith the knives C and E attached to thc hollow tapering body B, formedwith the'shank A, for attaching the tool to a brace, substantially asdescribed.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this day of 1866;
